So I was picking up a set of LS mesh wheels at my local salvage yard. I was telling the guy I wanted to do a brake swap off of an Integra onto my 92 Civic hatch. He took me to another garage bay and pointed at the shell of a GSR Sedan (not sure on the year). He offered me $500 for the whole thing, install and everything, and I said I'll let him know.

I've searched and searched but I haven't found anything CONCLUSIVE. So here are my questions:

1. I assume this will all bolt on. Brakes, e-brake cable, lines, but what about the M/C and Prop. valve?

2. If the M/C and prop valve wont work what will for a 92 Civic?

3. Also if I want to get a lowering kit what will I get it for? A GSR Sedan or 92 Hatch?

 

1) Yes, everything is a direct bolt-on.

2) The MC/booster and prop valve should be direct bolt-on, although if it's a GSR then it probably has ABS, and if I remember correctly, you don't want an ABS Integra prop valve. The passenger side of the MC will also probably have a 12mm flare nut, so you'll need to cut the 10mm flare nut off your existing MC hard line and slip the 12mm one on and reflare the line to use the 1" GSR MC. The other side of the MC uses a 10mm nut so your existing line should go right in, although you may have to bend it slightly to line it up.

3) 92-95 Civics and 94-01 Integras share the same basic platform, suspension included, so you could technically use suspension parts designed for either chassis. Just make sure to avoid buying rear suspension parts that are designed to work with ITR rear LCA's, since those are different from the rest of the 94-01 Integras, as well as the 92-95 Civics. ITR rear LCA's will interchange, but the way the rear dampers are mounted is different, so you want to match whatever rear dampers you buy to the type of LCA you have. I don't think any of the 92-95 Civic rear LCA's had mounting points for swaybar endlinks, so if you plan on installing a rear swaybar, you would need to swap to aftermarket or 94-01 Integra rear LCA's(including the ITR, but again, you would have to run ITR style rear dampers).

 

You shouldn't have to do anything other then bolt the spindles and caliper on. connect the banjo fitting bleed the brakes and your good to go.

Don't worry about the ABS, remove the sensor and wire from the spindle, you don't need it. Unless your car has ABS. Our 92Si didn't.


He will install the front spindles and give you the car for $500.00 ? or to also install the rear brakes ?

Hint the rears can be a nightmare job for the DIY.

No he's giving me the whole BRAKE SWAP for $500. Plus I'll need AT LEAST a new prop valve since I have rear drums and those have too much pressure for discs.

THANKS for all your help this is what i needed to know.

 

im using the stock prop valve with my disc conversion and it works great.

 

too much money. $500 installed would be about right.

 

It is 500 installed. You must've misunderstood...
